Nokia may be selling well over this side of the pond, but its footprint in the States is pretty small. That’s all set to change, however, as it’s got a shed-load of new handsets lined up for the US market.
Although Nokia sells 40 percent of all the phones in the world, it only accounts for one in ten handsets in the States, mostly because CDMA is much more widely used over there.
Nokia is hoping to turn this around with a slew of new mobiles designed for the US market. Nokia’s chief designer Alastair Curtis was quoted in Finnish paper Helsingin Sanomat saying that cooperation with US operators would soon see things change.
“In the next few months [US] operators will carry a lot of new products from us,” Curtis told the paper.
According to a Nokia spokesperson, the phone maker will introduce a number of new models this year - including CDMA handsets tailored to US carriers.
